JUST CALL ME DOUG

I work a couple days at the airport and I am flying out tomorrow. I booked my flight thru priceline so I was guaranteed a seat but not a specific one yet. On my break today I decided to go to the counter and get my seat assignment. I went to US Airways and the man was so nice and eager to help me. (He saw my airport badge so maybe that's why..hee hee he) Anyway, as he was getting my flight info and said, "hey there's a guy w your last name on that flight too." I said, "Oh- maybe I'll meet him."

That's just part one!
Part 2 (I am taking 3 flights, 1 w US Airways, and 2 w Delta)
I go to the Delta counter and did NOT have my flight # w me. I asked if there was a way to get it. I told them I was leaving here and then getting to PHX and flying a red-eye. She began looking and found nothing. I started to worry and said something like, "I'm not on that night flight? Really?" Delta lady "OH, night time. I was looking at the morning flights. ( Ummmm HELLO- I said RED EYE.) I did stay calm b/c I needed to go back to work and didn't need to be escorted out for my behavior.
So she started looking at the night flights and said, "Oh, are you Douglas?"

          Ok- now I know I have no pictures on here- but let me tell you I look like a                    GIRL! I have long blond hair, I wore makeup today to work, oh and my name              tag says EMILY.

I calmly said, "No I am not Douglas."
Detla Lady, "Oh, but you both have the same last name."
Me: "Ok, but my name is not Doug."
DL: "Did Doug book your flight?"
Me: "No- I don't know him."
DL: "Well, I can't find you on this flight."

I was freaking out a little b/c my flight is tomorrow and I would like to make sure I have a seat and so on. So I called my mom, luckily she was at home, I asked her to go online, sign on to my account and look for the priceline email and get my flight info. She gave me the flight # and confirmation # (she's so great).

I get off the phone and give the flight info to DL. She types a few things and says to me, "Are you flying w Doug?"

She's kidding right?????!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me: "Nope, still not flying w Doug." 
DL: "Are you sure he didn't book your flight?"

Seriously- who is this idiot???! I am a GIRL, I do not know a Doug w my last name and she has my flight # and confirmation #- why is this so difficult. Again- trying to stay calm....

She finally says, "Oh, there you are, after Doug."

Isn't there a poster entitled "Everything I need to know I learned to Kindergarten" 
I think the alphabet is on there- and what'd know E comes AFTER D!

So I went back to the bar and told all my co-workers to just refer to me as Doug or Dougie!
